AXIS 207 - Video Streams

Video Streams

The AXIS 207 provides several different image and video stream formats. The type to use

depends on your requirements and on the properties of your network.

The Live View page in the AXIS 207 provides access to MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG video

streams, as well as to single JPEG images. Other applications and clients can also access

these video streams/images directly, without going via the Live View page.

How to stream MPEG-4

This video compression standard makes good use of bandwidth, and can provide

high-quality video streams at less than 1 Mbit/s. Note that the image settings of the

MPEG-4 stream are the same for all clients.

Deciding on the combination of protocols and methods to use depends on your viewing

requirements, and on the properties of your network. The available options in AMC are:

Unicast RTP This unicast method (RTP over UDP) should be

your first consideration for live unicast video,

especially when it is important to always have

an up-to-date video stream, even if some

images are dropped.

Unicasting is used for video-on-demand broad-

casting, so that there is no video traffic on the

network until a client connects and requests the

stream.

Note: There is a maximum of 10 simultaneous

unicast connections.

RTP over RTSP This unicast method (RTP tunneled over RTSP) is

useful as it is relatively simple to configure fire

walls to allow RTSP traffic.

RTP over RTSP over

HTTP

This unicast method can be used to traverse fire-

walls. Firewalls are commonly configured to

allow the HTTP protocol, thus allowing RTP to be

tunneled.

Multicast RTP This method (RTP over TCP) should be used for live multicast video. The video stream is always

up-to-date, even if some images are dropped.

Multicasting provides the most efficient usage of bandwidth when there are large numbers of clients

viewing simultaneously. A multicast broadcast cannot however, pass a network router unless the

router is configured to allow this. It is thus not possible to multicast over e.g. the Internet.

Note also that all multicast viewers count as one unicast viewer in the maximum total of 10 simulta-

neous connnections.

When the Reconnect Strategy is not enabled, AMC will negotiate with the camera to

determine exactly which transport protocol to use, in the order listed above. This order can

be changed and the options disabled, to suit any specific requirements. See also the AMC

User’s manual, available from www.axis.com/techsup

Important!

MPEG-4 is licensed technology. The AXIS 207 includes one viewing client license.

Installing additional unlicensed copies of the viewing client is prohibited. To pur

chase additional licenses, contact your Axis reseller.

AXIS 207 - Configuration

The bit rate type can be set as Variable Bit Rate (VBR) or Constant Bit Rate (CBR). VBR will

adjust the bit rate according to the images' complexity, thus using a lot of bandwidth for a

lot of activity in the image and less for lower activity in the monitored area.

Audio Settings

General

The AXIS 207 has a built-in microphone for one way MPEG-4, ISMA, 3GPP compatible

audio.

Enable audio - click the checkbox to enable Audio (disabled by default).

Note: To receive synchronized video and sound, it is recommended that the camera time is synchronized with an

NTP Server. This is enabled under System Options > Date & Time. Please refer to the help pages for more

information.

AXIS 207 - Live View Config

Action Buttons

The manual trigger buttons can be used to manually trigger and stop an event from the

Live View page. See

Event Configuration, on page 24.

Enabling the display of the Snapshot button allows users to save a snapshot from the

video stream by clicking the button. This button is mainly intended for use with browsers

other than Internet Explorer, or when otherwise not using AXIS Media Control (AMC) to

view the video stream. AMC (an ActiveX control) for Internet Explorer provides its own

snapshot button.

Output Buttons

The output buttons are used to manually activate the output from the Live View page, e.g.

to switch a light on and off. There are 2 options for how the output is activated:

• The Pulse button activates the output for a defined period

• Active/Inactive displays 2 buttons, one for each action (on/off)

Default Video Format

Select the default video format to use on the Live View page. Checking the box for Show

video format selection displays a drop-down list on the Live View page allowing you to

temporarily change the format.

When using MPEG-4 as the video format, the default viewer is AXIS Media Control with

Internet Explorer.

Note: It is also possible to view Motion JPEG when MPEG-4 is chosen as default and vice versa.

Default Viewer

From the drop-down lists, select the default method for viewing video images for your

browser. The camera will attempt to show the video images in the selected video format

and viewer. If this is not possible, the camera will override the settings and select the best

available combination.

AMC Recommended viewer in Windows Internet Explorer (MPEG-4 /Motion JPEG).

QuickTime MPEG-4 only.

Java applet A slower imaging alternative to AMC (Motion JPEG only). Requires Java download.

Still image Displays still images only. Hit the Refresh button in your browser to view a new image.

Server Push Recommended viewer for other browsers (Motion JPEG).

QuickTime MPEG-4 only.

Java applet A slower imaging alternative to Server Push (Motion JPEG only).

Still image Displays still images only. Hit the Refresh button in your browser to view a new image.

AXIS 207 - Live View Config

Viewer Settings

Check the Show viewer toolbar box to display e.g. the AXIS Media Control (AMC) or the

QuickTime viewer toolbar under the video image in your browser.

Enable MPEG-4 decoder installation - The installation of the MPEG-4 decoder included

with AMC can be disabled by the administrator, to prevent the installation of unlicensed

copies. Further decoder licenses can be purchased from your Axis dealer. Check the box to

enable.

Enable recording button for MPEG-4 - Enabling this button allows the user to start an

MPEG-4 recording directly from the Live View page.

HTML Examples

You can add live video from the AXIS 207 to your own web site. The camera can transmit

a Motion JPEG stream to up to 10 simultaneous connections, although an administrator

can restrict this to fewer.

Select the preferred Video Format from the drop down list. The available options are

Motion JPEG, MPEG-4 using AMC and MPEG-4 using QuickTime. If MPEG-4 is set as the

video format, note that a separate MPEG-4 license is required for each viewer.

The Motion JPEG selection has additional settings for Image Type, Image size and other

optional settings to configure the video stream to suit your Web page. Click Update once

satisfied.

The camera generates the required source code for your configuration. Copy this code and

paste it into your own Web page code.

AXIS 207 - Event Configuration

Event Configuration

An event in the AXIS 207 is when a trigger is activated, causing a certain action to be

performed. The event is the set of parameters (or conditions) that specifies how and when

which actions will be performed. A common event is when the camera uploads images,

triggered by an alarm.

This section describes how to configure the AXIS 207 to perform certain actions when an

event (e.g. an alarm) occurs.

Triggered by...

Input Port

This describes the state that the

input must be in for an event to

be triggered e.g. a door sensor

connected to the camera’s input

port. If the door sensor is active,

an event is triggered.

Motion Detection

Movement in a motion detection

window can be used to trigger an event. Select the motion detection window from the

drop-down list and specify whether to trigger the event when motion stops or starts. For

information on how to set up motion detection windows see

Motion Detection, on page 26.

Manual Trigger

This option makes use of the action buttons on the live view page, which are used to start

or stop the event manually, e.g. activate an alarm connected to the camera’s output port.

Alternatively the event can be triggered via the product's API (Application Programming

Interface).

When Triggered...

Upload images/video - Enabling this option allows images or video to be uploaded to

different destinations, via FTP, via HTTP, or in email messages. Check the box to enable

and select the required upload method. See the online help for more information on the

settings required for upload servers and email.

Note: Mail servers must be configured under System Options > Network > SMTP

File format - Enter the file format (MPEG-4 or JPEG) you wish to upload. Check the

Include audio checkbox if audio is to be included (MPEG-4 only).

AXIS 207 - Event Configuration

Include Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers - This function is useful when checking to see

what happened immediately before and/or after a trigger, e.g. 5 seconds before and/or after

a door was opened.

Include pre-trigger buffer - images stored internally in the camera from the time

immediately preceding the trigger. Check the box to enable the pre-trigger buffer and

enter the desired length of time (and the required image frequency if JPEG is selected).

Include post-trigger buffer - contains images from the time immediately after the trig-

ger. Configure as for pre-trigger.

Notes: •Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers will be lost if the connection to the mail server fails.

•Cyclic refresh must be disabled if Event handling is enabled and the file format is set to MPEG-4

See Setup > Video & Image > Advanced > MPEG-4.

•The maximum length of the pre-/post-buffer depends on the video image size

(and frame rate).

Base file name - this name will be used for all of the image files saved. If suffixes are

also used, the file name will take the form <basename><suffix>.<extension>

Add a sequence number suffix - keep track of uploaded images by assigning each

image with a number.

Use own file name format - check this radio button to use a customized file name.

Enter the file name in the Base file name field above. It is possible to perform

advanced file name formatting, by including special patterns in the file name.

Activate output port - the output port controls external equipment connected to the I/O

port on the AXIS 207, e.g. an alarm bell or light.

Send HTTP notification - This sends notification messages to an HTTP notification server

that listens for these. The destination server must first be configured from HTTP server

settings...

Send TCP notification - This sends notification messages to a TCP notification server that

listens for these. The destination server must first be configured from TCP server settings...

See the online help for more information on notification servers.

AXIS 207 - Event Configuration

Motion Detection

The motion detection feature is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or

stops) in the video image. A total of 10 Include and/or Exclude windows can be

configured.

• Included windows target specific areas within the whole video image

• Excluded windows define areas within an Include window that should be ignored

(areas outside Include windows are automatically ignored)

Once configured, the motion detection windows will appear in the list of available triggers,

for triggering events. See the section on

Event Configuration above.

Note: Using the motion detection feature may decrease the camera’s overall performance.

How to configure Motion Detection

1. Click Motion Detection in the Event Configuration menu.

2. Click the Configure Included Window radio button.

3. Click New, or if using the Java Applet, click Add Window.

4. Enter a descriptive name under Window name.

5. Adjust the size (drag the bottom right-hand corner) and position (click on the text

at the top and drag to the desired position).

6. Adjust the Object size, History and Sensitivity profile sliders (see table below for

details). Any detected motion within an active window is then indicated by red

peaks in the Activity window (the active window has a red frame).

7. Click Save.

Please see the online help for descriptions of each available option.

Object Size History Sensitivity

High level Only very large objects trig-

ger motion detection

An object that appears in the

region will trigger the motion

detection for a long period

Ordinary colored objects on ordinary back-

grounds will trigger the motion detection

Low level Even very small objects trig-

ger motion detection

An object that appears in the

region will trigger motion

detection for only a very short

period

Only very bright objects on a dark background

will trigger motion detection

Default value Low Medium to High Medium to High

To exclude parts of the Include window, click the Configure Excluded Windows button

and position the Exclude window as required, within the Include window.
